Your Day

innerspaceboy · 08-07-2018, 03:30 PM

I had a really special day today. I hadn’t had a chance to celebrate my birthday in June but today a dear friend trekked up from Rochester and we went on an adventure around my city. He also very generously gifted me some wonderful treasures from his trip to Ireland and from the MoMA!

I now have some proper Irish tea, bitmapped MoMA tea towels, and a handsome skeleton pocket watch from Dublin! I’m grateful for a memorable day of celebration.

For his birthday I'd give him an appointment to see if he's schizoid.

I’m just glad he still posts here

Bat, we were together for 38 years before the separation, and during the 7 months we were not living under the same roof, we still maintained a close relationship. Us moving back in together is as far from a new relationship as can be possible.

We're both 58. This whole deal has zero to do with sex. It has everything to do with companionship. We needed a long break to realize that we missed each other's company, and that the little things that were getting on our nerves are pretty stupid in the grand scheme of things.

One other note is that Linda's been going through menopause and has been prone to compulsive decisions. She's admitted this in regard to the divorce talk. We're going to be just fine.

If we split up again I'll send you $1,000 via Western Union.

Again, we're both 58. Nuff said.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

That's fantastic. Don't sell the RV that you spent a year getting into a dependable lot that you almost didn't get just because your marriage is now on again. That would be stupid. Just keep it and see how things go. If your marriage was so dependable as you make it sound we wouldn't be having this conversation, and if menopause caused divorces for no reason then... menopause doesn't cause divorces for no reason and tbh you saying that makes it sound like you're minimizing the actual causes of your near divorce just to make yourself feel better. Please just show a little caution.

I know you are not going to do this but at least if things go tits up and you have nothing to show for it I'll have this post to quote so I can say I told you so.

I actually agree with Bat. As much as I wanna see it work out, it's always good to be cautious. Though I also understand that owning an RV can be tough. I guess just do what you wanna do, Chula. If you guys know it'll work, more power to ya.

Make that deal with me instead.

Well I have to imagine having a sex drive and not being able to do anything about it is like having 20/20 vision but being fully paralyzed and unable to speak. And I don't know you well enough to make a blue pill joke, so I wont.

Anyway, best of luck. From what you've written that I've read it sounded like a decent deal. I had been off the site for a good while and hadn't heard what happened.
